Our Process
We follow a transparent, systematic approach designed to turn your retirement goals into a concrete, actionable roadmap for the future.
1. Initial Consultation
In our initial consultation, typically a phone call, we answer your questions about working with 55 Wealth, discuss your needs, and help you decide if we’re the right fit for your situation.
2. Understanding Your Current Plan
This will be the first time we meet in person (or virtually). In our experience, everyone has a plan in mind for their retirement. We use this time to understand your current plan and gather all of the necessary information about you and your goals so we can deliver advice that actually works for you.
3. Strategy & Analysis
This part is completed by us in between meetings. We apply our expertise and technical knowledge to determine if your current plan will work or what adjustments need to be made.
4. Retirement Roadmap
This will be the second time we meet. We will present you with your retirement roadmap that will clearly show you when you can retire, what your income will look like, and what needs to happen between now and your retirement. Our goal here is to provide a clear answer to every question you have.
5. Ongoing Client Relationship
Only if you feel like we have added value to this point and are a good fit, we will onboard you as a new client. This is when we open accounts, transfer your investments, and begin delivering our annual client service deliverables.
